For this week's shopping task, all housemates will learn about the world of Puppet Theatre.

Heavenly housemates will learn to perform a spectacular theatrical sequence in the style of contemporary Japanese Bunraku. The sequence is that of a fantastical Table Tennis Match, where the characters can fly and stop the ball in mid air.

Bunraku is a form of Japanese puppetry that uses puppeteers dressed in black, 'invisibly' manipulating objects and people whilst standing against a black background. In order to pass their part of the shopping task, heavenly housemates must practice and perform to Big Brother's satisfaction.

The housemates from hell will have to create and perform a hand puppet show over a period of approximately 24 hours. They are provided with puppets of the heavenly housemates and must use their imaginations and experiences in the house to create shows every time the trigger sound is played. The trigger sound is 'That's the Way to Do it', a phrase made famous by Mr Punch.

In order to pass their part of the shopping task, housemates from hell must incur no more than three fails.
